What music did you buy today?

Inspired by the hard to find Monk thread, I went and picked up the Original Album Classics v. 2. I have 3 of the 5 already, but I figured it wasn't that outrageous, since the first CD (Misterioso) is so hard to come by in North America. I'm a bit torn when I went and looked at Monk's Original Album Classics (v. 1), since I have all the CDs, but 3 of them in earlier masterings and without the bonus tracks. I'm leaning against at the moment, but I may weaken.

I'm also debating whether I want to get Monk's solo Vogue recordings, since it is available so cheaply. I'm pretty sure I have it in some format, but it may be a beat-up copy. I'll have to look again.

I had to feed the rock beast in my musical soul with a visit to the downtown Silver Platters in Seattle.

The Jesus And Mary Chain:

--- Psychocandy (Deluxe Edition)

--- Honey's Dead (Deluxe Edition)

Donny Hathaway: Live + In Performance (Many thanks to Lon for mentioning this cd -- Thanks Lon! )

Seam: The Problem With Me

The Hollies: Clarke, Hicks, & Nash Years (The Complete Hollies April 1963 -- October 1965)

The Dave Brubeck Quartet: Jazz: Red Hot & Cool (i'm thinking of getting the Complete Columbia Studio box set, and this is not on it)

[Matthew]

Dave Brubeck: The Columbia Studio Albums Collection 1955-1966. Decided just to go ahead and get it, I've been enjoy Brubeck so much lately, and the price was $100, so I put my wallet on life-support for awhile. Hope it's true that the live albums will come out in the fall.

Pretty low-fi recording but there's something about this lady's voice that does it for me.

Thanks, MG, for reminding me of this one!

A little trip to Cardiff to book myself a few days in Paris next month and a slide into Kelly's snagged me

Milt Jackson Ray Brown Jam - Pablo live (UK)

Not a red transparent plastic job, just ordinary black vinyl and absolutely covered in dust (with a split cover). I bought it unheard simply because this MUST have been something someone bought and never played. I expect it'll clean up pristine after a wipe with an oily rag.

MG

GREAT album..... living with that one since 8 years old.

Yes, I'm really enjoying it. Very nearly pristine, after a bit of buffing with a Parostatik. Very glad I got it.

One of the few Pablo's worth keeping. That whole Montreux '77 series pretty much, (I have 9 of them) is solid. The Bags/Ray Brown session has 2 additional tracks: "Thats The Way It Is" issued on the OJC CD of the album, and "Red Top" issued on the "Jam Sessions: Montreux '77" so unless you have those, MG you may wanna be on the look out for. "Oscar Peterson Jam: Montreux '77" I recommend also.

Can't say I'm too keen on OP. Nor Norman Granz - just pick up the odd thing that takes my fancy.

Another trip to Cardiff, to get my tickets for gay Paree. A couple of weeks ago, I passed up the chance to get this in Kelly's:

Earl Hines - Tour de force - Black Lion

and the following day, Jim Sangrey and Larry Kart were going over the top about the LP, and I kicked meself for not getting it. Well, they're never there when you go back for them, are they?

This one was, and in fine nick for a fiver!

Just listening to it now. It seems MUCH more accessible than the title would suggest. Yet another demonstration of the fact that the skill of a great popular musician lies in being able to get through to people who haven't the education to appreciate his skills. Really glad I got this.

And thanks to Jim and Larry.

Now where in the name of Hell did you get that from in the UK?

Went to Whitby for a day with the family and on the way up to the Abbey poppd in a little record shop called 'Folk Devils' - which had quite a nice selection of records but this one stood out. I think the man at the counter was as surprised as me when I bought it!

WHITBY!!!!!! (with Whitby Abbey in background)

NOW IT CAN BE TOLD!

Also, this...

It seems to be increasingly difficult to find. Here's to hoping J&R actually have it in stock, as they say they do...

We'll see!

Wonderful!
